SEMINAR ITEMS

WAVES AND LIGHT

Item 1

In a certain music concert that took place at night, a man played

a guitar on a

floating stage surrounded by disco lights flashing red, blue and

green in the
middle of the lake. The audience on the boats and shores were
wearing yellow

clothes with black spots on them. The audience was surprised

about the new

appearance of the colours of their clothes. The sound waves from

the guitar

travel through the air with a frequency of 𝟒𝟒𝟎𝑯𝒛. The organizers

also projected

𝟏𝟎𝟖M𝑯𝒛
laser light, that travels through air with a frequency of 4.7×

illuminating waves on the lake surface to aid visibility. The shores

of the lake

were 𝟏𝟓𝒎 away from a tall storage building. Boys A and B

standing in the same

direction and in line with the playing music from the lake heard
the sound at

different intervals of time which attracted them to go and observe

what was

taking place at the lake. Boy A heard the sound after 3s and boy B
heard the

sound after 4s.

Hint: 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑖𝑟 = 𝟑𝟑𝟎𝒎𝒔−𝟏, 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑖𝑛

𝑎𝑖𝑟 = 𝟑. 𝟎 × 𝟏𝟎𝟖𝒎𝒔−𝟏

Task:

As a physics student;

(a) Help the two boys to understand why they heard the sound at
different intervals.

(b) Clearly explain why the colour of the clothes of the audience
kept on
changing when coloured lights flashed on them.

(c) Why was laser source of light preferred to provide laser light
that enhanced

visibility late in the late hours of the night.

(d) Compare the wave length of the sound waves and laser light
waves in air

medium.

Item 2

A war erupted in a certain mountainous areas surrounded by

small water

bodies where soldiers only communicated by throwing a stone in

water to alert

their colleagues of danger ahead. Instead, this alerted their

enemies. One of the

soldiers had small sizable plane mirrors and torn paper box in his
bag. Their

leader sent spies to peep behind hills to see if the enemies were
hiding there

but many were captured and killed. They totally lacked

knowledge on how to

solve this problem. The enemy troops had a radio call that was
used for

communication and wave forms of wave length were produced on

the receiver’s

computer clearly indicating the amplitude, period and time taken

for the wave
to reach the receiver at the headquarter. One afternoon, it
threatened to rain

and bright colours of different kind spread in the skies. This

scared the soldiers

even more.

Hint;

A graph obtained from the receiver’s computer

Task:

As a physics student, help the soldiers to;

(a) Understand why the throwing of the stone in water always

alerted their

enemies

(b) Know the best way they could reduce the rate at which their
spies were

being killed and captured.

(c) Understand the strange appearance of the skies that sent

them to hide

outs.

(d) Determine frequency at which the waves reached the receiver

at the

home base of the army.

ELECTRONICS.

Item 3
On a certain day at around 1:30pm while in the dining hall,
learners watched

heavy fog-rains and floods being experienced in a certain outside

country on an

international T.V live channel. To worsen matters, the floods were

happening at

night and this risked many natives as many of them were

ambushed while

asleep. Learners wondered how it would be night and seriously

raining in an

area yet it was day and the Sun was highly shinning at that time
in their

school.

Task:

As a physics learner help the learners clear their queries about;

a) Occurrence of the floods in one area yet it was shining in their

school at

same time.

b) Why it was night in that outside country yet it was day-time in

their

area?

c) How T.V signals broadcast from where the floods were

happening

reached them.

Item 4

A child went out of the house at around 8:30pm and realized that
security

lights were off. The child saw glittering substances in the space
and wondered
why the clouds were so much glittering. While still wondering, the
child heard

a person tip-toe and rushed to the corridor with light switches to

switch on.

Unfortunately, the corridor was closed by parents who had

mistakenly gone

with the keys and was not yet back. The person knocked on the
gate but the

child was challenged whether the parent had come and had to
open or the

person knocking was a thief. Later the parent came, and when the
child

narrated, the parent said the glittering substances were artificial

satellites in

the international Space Station (ISS).

Task:

As a physics learner, using the knowledge of space physics and

digital

electronics, help the child and parent:

(a) Understand more types of those identified satellites and why

they exist

there without falling.

(b) Solve the problem of operation of security lights.

Task: With the aid of nuclear equations explain some of the

possible reasons as to why scientists panicked?

Item 3 Senior Two learners had an argument in the dormitory

over a science fiction movie they had just watched which showed
the same person of who weighed 730N on earth flying in the air
on different planets with the kind of weights he possesses. These
learners couldn’t tell how true this was. At the end of the
documentary a chart below was displayed on the screen and still
didn’t make sense to the learners. Hint: acceleration due to
gravity on earth is 10m/s²

CHART

Planet Acceleration due to

s gravity (ms²)

Moon 1.67

Mercur
y 3.59

Mars 3.77

Jupiter 25.95

Task Using the chart from the documentary give a comment to

these learners on whether this is possible or not and why.

SECTION B
PART (II)
(Choose one question from each part)
Item 4 Sebunya is a professional car racer in formula 1. At the
start of his race of a total distance of 2200m under a hot sun he
accelerated from rest to a velocity of 72km/hr. in 30s and then
maintained this velocity for 60s. When he reached the last
kilometer, he accelerated to a velocity of 144km/hr in 20s
however he noticed during his last turn that the car was over
sliding [skidding] and that the car had no grip on the track.
Allover a sudden one of the tyres burst and the car decelerated to
rest in 15s.

Image 2:

Task a) As a student of physics explain to the fans the events that

lead to the stop? b) What are some of the precautions that should
be taken by the racer the next time to avoid the same incident c)
What distance did Sebunya cover? d) Do you think Sebunya
finished the race?

Item 5 Brian is a butler in a mansion on one of the hills of

Muyenga who was asked to make a bath for Musa’s son. Musa
was specific that the bath was supposed to be 30°C. when he
went to the bathroom he discovered that the water was off. He
had to then climb a flight of 20 stairs each of height 20cm
carrying a bucket with hot water at 100°C of mass 2kg that he
was mix with the cold water of mass 4kg at 10°C in the bath room
with in 60s.

Task a) What was the temperature of the water organized by

Brian after mixing it, and was it fit for a bath by Musa’s son. b)
What was the rate at which Brian did work. c) What precautions
does Brian need to put in place next time so that the water
remains hot by the time it reaches upstairs.

S2 History

ITEM I
Mr. Mguni Richard because of uncomfortable in his original
homeland in Western Kanyera, and his farming of the Babichachi
clan members migrated into Busumbu District in Eastern Uganda.
On their arrival, they met different clans that had earlier inhabited
the area.

Task
What should have forced the above group to leave their homeland
and how did their coming affect the local people in the area they
occupied?

ITEM II
During the pre-colonial era, East Africa Africans used to trade with
foreigners. At first the trade had concentrated along the coast of
East Africa and later spread into the interior of East Africa who
embraced the organization of the pre-colonial trade and convert
trade. Historians say that there is a change in the organization.

Task
How best are historians true?

In Kabase district in Western Uganda River

A group of student visited Uganda and they explored Queen
Elizabeth National Park. During their visit, they absorbed various
animals including monkeys, Gorillas and chimpanzees and to their
surprise animal exhibited human like behaviours. The tour guide
explained that the ancestors of human being evolved from these
animals through a natural process but despite his explanation
many students did not believe the tour guide information.
Using your knowledge of history and pol
you can write an essay and educate the students about.
